How much do they hold in common?

0%

of what ISF and VMID disclose is the same set of companies at the same weights. Owning both adds less variety than it may seem.

Overlap = Σ min(weight A, weight B) over each fund’s latest issuer-published top holdings. Snapshots are from different dates, so overlap is approximate. Source: issuer-published holdings.
